Job Description

Responsibilities

Sierra Vista Hospital is part of the UHS Family of Providers which has been highly regarded as an integral part of the greater Sacramento and Northern California mental health system since 1986. We have offered our clinical expertise to those suffering from behavioral health disorders or dual diagnosis. Our private 171-bed facility is home to a clinical team of licensed professionals committed to providing the highest quality care. We also provide inpatient alcohol detox and outpatient chemical dependency services. While most of our patients are from the Sacramento metro area, we also provide behavioral health, chemical dependency and dual diagnosis services to individuals and their families throughout northern and central California.

The Outpatient Department Assistant/ Front Office is responsible for overall clerical and administrative support duties for the Outpatient Program.  This position welcomes patients and visitors in person, virtual, and over the telephone.  This position is also responsible for implementing & maintaining effective paper flow, documentation, and record keeping systems.

Employment openings : Full-time

Location: Sacramento, CA

Qualifications

Education:  High School diploma, or equivalent. College Degree Preferred

Experience: Minimum of one (1) year administrative experience in a health care facility preferred.

License: Must have a valid driver's license.

Additional Requirements:  Must have knowledge of medical terminology and must be able to type 60 wpm.  Must be able to use Word and Excel computer software.

Must have current CPR.

Qualified Candidates (About You) You are kind, empathetic, compassionate, and thick skined.  You care deeply about the well-being of others in their most vulnerable state and you have the ability to not take things personally.  You can build warm, caring and therapeutic relationships with our patients but still set and enforce limits with regards to what is and what is not acceptable behavior at SVH.

You are excited to partner with a multidisciplinary team who have deep knowledge in trauma and therapeutic approaches, and about being part of a culture that treats patients with compassion, dignity and respect.  You’d rather respond to challenging behavior by working with our patients to solve the problem than administering a disciplinary consequence.

You act as a steward of our organization and, in so doing, uphold our mission and vision, all aspects of your job description, and a focus on the patient’s wellness by putting patients’ and families’ first.  You have no time for drama and are willing to have direct and honest conversations with colleagues. You are human, so every once in a while you fall down when executing on the job, and then you ask for help. You take your work seriously and are able to recognize when you need to care for yourself. You are nice, kind, caring and honest.
